I would rather get a HPa setup over a propane because they last longer and perform better and can be used for high pressure cannons/

Very nice. I like it. What kind of life do you get out of that tank?
I would have gone CO2, but only because I already have a tank, filler and scale. :violent3:

Looks good, I like

You could have gotten a pony tank. They can be bigger than that but only holld 3000 psi.

From that information, you can estimate tank life.trae08 wrote:the tank im going to get is 114 ci 4500 psi
What's your chamber volume and pressure?
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 11:17 am
i dunno the volume. but it is a 12 inch piece of 4 inch pipe. run at 115 psi
yea i was going to get a scuba tank but the only go up to 3000 psi

Ok then... Chamber volume of 151 ci. Multiply by pressure to get 17342 psi.ci.
115 ci HPA bottle containing 4500 psi, taking the differential of 4485 psi gives 504275 psi.ci.
Dividing 504275 by 17342 gives you 29 shots max.
Bear in mind that you'll probably get closer to about 25 shots because of extra chamber volume, and often the HPA bottles aren't filled to quite what they say they are.
